Al-Ahsa International Airport — Hofuf, Saudi Arabia

Al-Ahsa International Airport, coded HOF, serves Hofuf and the broader Al-Ahsa oasis in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, an area recognized by UNESCO as among the largest oases on Earth and long celebrated for date palm cultivation and natural springs. The airport provides a regional link for residents and workers connected to the oil and agricultural industries that anchor the local economy, with routes primarily serving Riyadh, Jeddah, and other domestic Saudi destinations. Compared to the kingdom's major international hubs, HOF handles modest passenger volumes, reflecting its role as a regional rather than international gateway. The surrounding Al-Ahsa region draws heritage-focused visitors interested in its historic irrigation systems, old town architecture, and archaeological layers reflecting thousands of years of continuous settlement in this part of the Arabian Peninsula.
